Focusing and Vertical Mode Scattering of the First Mode Internal Tide via Mesoscale Eddy Interactions
Dunphy, Michael (University of Waterloo, 2014-09-25)In this work we perform numerical experiments using the MITgcm to simulate the interaction of a mode-one internal tide with barotropic and baroclinic mode-one mesoscale eddies. We also employ the ray tracing equations to ... -
The Influence of Mesoscale Eddies on the Internal Tide
Dunphy, Michael (University of Waterloo, 2009-08-21)The barotropic tide dissipates a well established estimate of 2.5 TW of energy at the M2 frequency. Bottom topography is responsible for part of this dissipation, and the generation of the internal tide is also partly ...
